“…The typical finding at surgery is a conglomeration of small bowel loops encased in a dense white membrane [1,7]. Involvement of stomach and visceral surface of liver as in this case is extremely rare.…”

“…Treatment, as in the present case, consists of excision of the accessory peritoneal sac with lysis of the interloop adhesions. Bowel resection is unnecessary [1,5] unless a nonviable segment is found [7].…”

“…Sclerosing peritoneal encapsulation is a rare developmental malformation characterized by the encasement of all or part of the small bowel by a thick, accessory peritoneal sheath [1]. It was first described by Owtschinnikow in 1907 as "peritonitis chronica fibrosa incapsulata" [2] and termed "abdominal cocoon" by Foo in 1978 [2,3] .It is characterized by a complete or partial encasement of the small bowel by a thick and fibrotic membrane (cocoons) The loops within the cocoon are normal and adherent to each other.…”

ABSTRACT:Abdominal cocoon syndrome is characterized by encapsulation of the small bowel by a fibrous peritoneal sac. We describe the case of a middle aged male patient who presented with sub acute intestinal obstruction. Treatment involves exploratory laparotomy, excision of the sac and adhesiolysis. Early post operative small bowel obstruction is a rare entity in this disease and can be managed conservatively. It is important to have a high degree of suspicion as Abdominal cocoon syndrome has variable clinical presentation and non specific imaging findings.

“…A high clinical presumption associated with imaging techniques, especially CT-scan, have a major role in establishing the definitive diagnosis (17). At this moment, SEP is classified as primary (or idiopathic) SEP or secondary SEP, depending on the cause and on the histopathological aspects of the encapsulating membrane (21)(22)(23). Primary SEP, also referred to as abdominal cocoon syndrome, is classified into three categories based on the extent of encasement by the membrane (24,25).…”

“…Peritoneal encapsulation seems to be predominant in males and is not always associated with abnormal intestinal rotation [17,18] . The condition is largely asymptomatic but some cases may present as bowel obstruction [19,20]. Peritoneal encapsulation very rarely leads to an acute iliac occlusion or to idiopathic sclerosing peritonitis [21,22].…”
